Introduction of BSRIA Application Guide BG 29/2012

15 July 2013

Since the introduction of
the BSRIA Guide BD29/2011 in September 2011, Goodwater have been undertaking
pre-commission cleaning works in accordance with the new standard.

The Guide – which replaced
the application guide AG 2001.1 – incorporated industry feedback from nearly 20
years of flushing and cleaning using the guide, and clarified the roles and
responsibilities of all the parties involved in pre-commission chemical
cleaning in order to achieve a more consistent service offering from companies
undertaking this type of work. It also
references BS 8552 with regard to the sampling and analysis of system water,
both during the pre-commissioning phase and for later in the building services
system’s lifetime.

This latest version of the
guide, Pre-Commissioning Cleaning of Pipework Systems BG 29/2012,
now replaces BG 29/2011 and reflects new British and European standards,
as well as resolving certain points that have been raised regarding the use of
the guide over the last year.

BG 29/2012 provides the
industry with the latest guidelines and good practice cleaning techniques for
commercial hot and cold water services systems in buildings.
